Making History Happen
There was a time when this historic cemetery was overgrown with weeds and plagued by vandals. In 1993, a group of energetic people set out to rescue it. Masonic Lodge #11, the City of Eugene, and some local citizens formed a steering committee to develop a plan of action for its future.
From this, the Eugene Masonic Cemetery Association was born. Ownership of the property was transferred to this new organization, and the rest is history. Even better, history was preserved. Intelligent planning, followed by herculean group efforts, has transformed the cemetery into an urban treasure. The EMCA has specific policies for fair and balanced management of the cemetery.
The EMCA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a Board of Directors, a Cemetery Administrator and a Site Manager. The Cemetery retains “Masonic” in its name, as an important historic reference, but is no longer officially affiliated. EMCA is independent and non-sectarian.
